Hi there.<BR>I am New to this whole thing and it was recomended that i check out adoption . After reading a few threads i thought you sounded nice and helpfull. <BR>Here is why i am here! My name is Ian Hughes and I was in LOTR! I played Irolas in ROTK (and had an amazing time by the way!) before i was cast and before shooting started, myself and some of my friends made a short film (23 mins actually) called BOGANS. It is the story of three loveable losers who travel from Auckland (ORK-LAND) to Wellington to find Peter Jackson and audtion for LOTR... but being idiots they get the wrong Peter Jackson (There are actually about 12 Peter Jacksons in Wellington) . They Dig a hole in his lawn dress up as hobbits and when he comes out of his house in the morning they start charnting at him. He of course he calls the police. <BR>as they are making their getaway they nearly run over the real Peter Jackson ...<BR>As you can tell it is a comedy!<BR>We made the whole thing on a tiny budget in the weekend ( in true Jackson style) and when we had finished it we sent a copy to the man Himself and asked him to be in it... Amazingly he agreed and while he was in the middle of preproduction for his epic he popped out during a lunch break and shot a little cameo for our film! What a Legend<BR>It also stars Peter Tait, Stephen Ure and the voice of John Lee who all also ended up the the LOTRs. <BR>Anyway we are thinking of releasing BOGANS ... so at the very least we can pay all the actors and crew! <BR>Do you think the fans would be into this and have you got any thoughts on how to sperad the word.<BR>Cheers ...<BR>Ian

Arienel, what's Breratin castle?<BR><BR>I am leaving on February 5th and officially bought my tickets last week. All four flights are window seats, which I guess is okay. I just hope the plane is roomy because I will be on it for 11 hours one way. Then I gotta go back on it. Then I have to fly from Toronto to Halifax and drive four hours home. Don't bother looking for me for a week afterwards as I will be sleeping. <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif"border=0><BR><BR>Irolas, I read your thread in Events earlier today! Far too cool. That is like the dream come true that "little people" everywhere would hope would happen to them. Did you make any screentime that you'd be able to point out? ROTK isn't at any theatres at home, but I will be seeing it in Liverpool. Welcome to Tolkien Online!<BR><BR>Just a heads-up, folks: there was talk among the adopters that having smaller threads might make people new to the site feel more welcomed (or better put, less scared to join in). We are not being forced to, but I think I shall take them up on it and start a new thread sometime soon. I will one day get back to the posts I have neglected here, but I think starting a new thread will give myself and you guys a fresh start. I will let you all know in good time when the new thread has been started, and provide a link to it. Ta for now! (Must go make self bankrupt with lotr collectibles...)<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>*E*

That's so cool irolas, being in LOTR! <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif"border=0> I bow to you. <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif"border=0> Welcome to TORC! <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0><BR><BR>That's a long trip, E... Make sure that you drink lots of water! <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif"border=0><img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif"border=0><BR><BR>And it sounds like a good idea with smaller threads. I look forward to a new, fresh one. <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif"border=0>

It's snowed in Shanghai a few days ago.... The people here have obviously NEVER seen snow before cause they seemed 1) scared of it 2)amazed.<BR><BR>My dad was telling me this story about this malaysian guy who came to Shanghai and he'd never been cold before (apparently malaysian is warm). Anways, he didn't know what it felt like to be cold and so he came here and thought he was dying. He went to the hospital and they had to explain to him that he was cold.

Well, time to move to the new thread. <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0> I am sorry that I will not be able to get to it over the next two weeks, but please head there instead of this one. Once I get back, I will do some major reorganizing, add the names of the new adoptees, and perhaps even restart the chat thread. See you all in the new thread!<BR><BR><b>*~*+*~*=*~*+*~*=*~*~*+*~*=*~*+*~*=*~*~*+*~*=*~*+*~*=*~*+*~*=*~*+*~*=*~*~*+*~*=*~*+*~*=*~*~*+*~*=*~*+*~*=*<BR>*~*+*~*=*~*+*~*=*~*~*+*~*=*~*+*~*=*~*~*+*~*=*~*+*~*=*~*+*~*=*~*+*~*=*~*~*+*~*=*~*+*~*=*~*~*+*~*=*~*+*~*=*<BR>*~*+*~*=*~*+*~*=*~*~*+*~*=*~*+*~*=*~*~*+*~*=*~*+*~*=*~*+*~*=*~*+*~*=*~*~*+*~*=*~*+*~*=*~*~*+*~*=*~*+*~*=*<BR>DO NOT POST IN THIS THREAD ANYMORE.
